A New TRANSFORMERS Animated Series Coming From Hasbro and Nickelodeon

Nickelodeon and Hasbro’s Entertainment One (eOne) have partnered to co-produce a new original animated Transformers series that will consist of 26 half-hour episodes!

The series is described as an action-comedy series, and the story centers on “a new species of Transformers must find their place and purpose among Autobots, Decepticons, and the human family that adopts them.”

I’m a huge fan of the Transformers franchise and I would love to see another great Transformers animated series. I’m not exactly sure what this new series is going to be, but I hope that it’s something that long-time fans like myself will enjoy watching. There have been some hits and misses over the years, hopefully, this one hits.

When talking about the series and what it will entail, Ramsey Naito, President, Nickelodeon Animation said:

“As soon as I read the creative concept, which at its core is about family, I knew we absolutely had to tell this story with our good friends at eOne and Hasbro. The series will tell a reimagined story featuring both original characters and fan-favorites for a whole new generation of kids and families. The creative team at Nick, overseen by Claudia Spinelli, SVP of Animation Development, can’t wait to get started on building this new world.”

Olivier Dumont, eOne’s President of Family Brands added:

“We’re thrilled to be working with Nickelodeon to expand the Transformers animated universe and bring an all-new more than meets the eye story to life. This new series is a fresh creative take on the brand, which will excite longtime fans around the world and soon to be fans alike, all being introduced to the robots in disguise by an A list creative team led by eOne’s Mikiel Houser .”

The new Transformers series is executive produced by Ant Ward (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Nicole Dubuc (Transformers: Rescue Bots) and is being developed and co-executive produced by Dale Malinowski (Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

Produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio, the series is developed for television by Spinelli and Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt, Senior Director, Current Series and Development, Animation. Production will be overseen for Nickelodeon by Conrad Montgomery, Vice President, Current Series, Animation and for eOne by Mikiel Houser, Director of TV Development.
